Exceptions

BackendError

Indicates an exceptional state that caused an error within the backend engine.

CollisionError

Exception raised when two objects have been found to be in collision in PyBullet.

InverseKinematicsError

Exception raised when no IK solution can be found in PyBullet.

RosError
